Tournament Description

The Yonex Herb Richard Manitoba Open is one of Manitoba's longest standing tournaments, and has been renamed after Herb Richard who was a long-time badminton professional at both the Winnipeg Canoe Club and the Wildewood Club.

The "A" event is 1 of only 2 Premier Level Provincial Tournaments in Manitoba, which makes it a 1.0 ranking event. The "C" event is held at the very same time but is a 0.25 ranking event and therefore this tournament can accommodate all levels of play!

There is a lunch planned for Saturday, as well as a tournament souvenir and prizes for final day winners

As of September 2018, coaches must have completed their Respect In Sport Certification. Only 2 coaches allowed per court, and coaches must sit on the same side as their athletes if on the field of play.

Players are responsible for being present for all their matches, and the "Approximate Schedule" is only a guide and should not be used as fact. If the tournament is running ahead of time, it is your responsibility to be prepared for your match.
